chromatic tuner effects pedals

[newbiejon]

Ok i know i sound like a complete newb but what do these do? Are they a tuning aid or do they electronically alter the pitch of you guitar?!?!?

Eh, they're for tuning your guitar. Play a note until the right light lights up basically. And this should probably be in players' corner too

its just a regular tuner, but can be used in the place of any pedal board setup, so its nice and compact and looks just like a distortion pedal, and you just turn it on or off like you would any other pedal.

when i first started playing i was convinced that you strap the tuner onto the guitar and it tunes it for you :x

That'd be nice . The always-in-tune guitar...no tuning necessary.

'Chromatic' tuners can tune any note, unlike a regular tuner which will only reconise E A D G B E, so they're good for weird tunings etc

I use the Boss Chromatic tuner, it's best feature is that you can kill the output to the amp by pressing the pedal, therefore tune up in silent when on stage. No more tuning over each other or having the crowd hear that annoying downtime between songs. They can also act as a good kill switch during a song.

They are really the best way to tune and adjust the intonation as well.
